Maybe they took less for Ozuna to make up for Stanton vetoing the trade they had in place. I understand Stanton was a salary dump, but man it seems like the Marlins are getting very little in return in these trades.

We don't know the Ozuna return yet. All we 'know' is that Alcantara is part of the package. I'd expect another arm and a bat at the very least.

Here’s part of what I wrote on the day of the signing:

It’s Manny I worry about.   Extending him should be the highest priority.   If this deal leaves us with insufficient resources to do that, then that’s a disaster.

Disaster.

Not good at pulling up old threads, but what I remember posting is:

The Davis signing is a franchise destroying deal... yep it was/is.

Tommy Hunter to the Phillies, 2/$18M. As far as I can tell, that is not a typo:

If there is that much market for Hunter, we must be able to get something good for Brach.

Crazy money.   It also makes Britton look good as well, I would think.

Important to remember although Brach has a better track record, Hunter was better than him in 2017.

Heyman tweeted (4hrs ago) that "Brad Brach is extremely popular on the trade market".

Well this is an odd situation. Guess we're trying to move Britton

This has got to be the worst logic I've ever heard.

Yeah, why not trade Brach and just keep Britton? 

Makes no sense

Odd is a pretty good way to describe Oriole management

Trade them both and make Givens the closer.
